Warfare State

More about the book

Challenging the prevailing view of twentieth-century Britain as solely a welfare state, this book presents a compelling argument for its dual identity as a warfare state, emphasizing the significance of its armaments industry. It provides a fresh, post-welfarist perspective that intertwines the relationships among science, technology, industry, and the military. This work is crucial for scholars focused on the history and historiography of Britain, as well as the historical sociology of war and the evolution of science and technology.
